    I just checked and those rules are wild.

    Posting a picture of a slice of cheese without a NSFW tag and a content warning is bannable but calling violence against large groups of people isn’t.

      Holy hell that sounds like a parody community made by 4chan.

        Yep and like 4chan It’s full of Russian propaganda. Just look at how many of their posts reference Ukrainian Nazis.

        We are a platform that welcomes anyone who wants to be here in good faith. With that said, we are also an intentionally leftist platform; conservative and reactionary ideologies will not be tolerated here.

        They live in an idolgical bubble where contrary opinions are not tolerated, and dissent is shunned. The only voices they hear are leftist and extreme leftist voices shifting the Overton window of politics in their minds leading to radical beliefs.

        It’s important to have your beliefs challenged at times, they lack that. If you can try and listen to voices from opposing view points, maybe even share your own in a respectful manner.

        (This isn’t an issue particular to any side of politics, it also occurs in more right wing groups)

      Good. Fuck all fascists. The allies who fought in WWII were heroes, and the farmers who rape cows are villains. This is a consistent ideology.

    In their general rules:

    Any pictures of food containing animal products, including but not limited to meat, cheese, or egg, must be tagged nsfw along with food discussion content warnings (CW: Food).
    
    Animal Liberation is essential to any leftist movement, including platforms like Hexbear. Volunteers, comments, and posts, should not be anti-vegan, although users and volunteers are not required to be vegan.
    

    Wow. Just wow. That is so far beyond leftist.

      It’s like if Fox News was to create a leftist website. It smells so fake.

        A satire of leftism? I’d call it too obvious but look how popular it is.

      I don’t know, you see a cow being shot and cut up, it’s NSFW. You put some parsley on it, it’s now food.

        They’re transphobic? That’s almost as bad as being vegan! /s But seriously, I hadn’t known that.

  • leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I believe they do, yes. It’s done to out anti-trans people, making them easy to spot as they complain loudly about being forced to.

        I mean, it’s unverifiable and unenforceable. Personally, I wouldn’t sign up for anything that requires identifying myself like that. I can just loom at someone’s comment history to see if they’re strongly pro or anti tolerance. As it stands, this has as much value as as North Korea calling themselves democratic.

        Steps 2 and 3 involved denying several genocides and then calling for genocides based on skin color and global locality.

        Amy is probably fine. It tends to be my choice. That said, you’re better off just not using Hexbear. Ya know, unless you’re chill with things like genocide.

        Then you put that I guess.

      Until some random doxes people.

      You’d think, after seeing bitching posts about privacy one after the other folks would be concerned.

    It’s part of the signing up process. I’ve seen people without them, but it’s very rare. There’s probably a grace period.

        How should people refer to you in the third person? It’s okay to use one’s name as the preferred pronoun.

    They’re a satire of failed marxist extremists that hate everyone and everything. Just block them and move on.

      I don’t paint with such a broad brush. I welcome differing opinions on my social media feed.
